PowerMill Save Function Modification

Crazy question - but is it possible to modify the powermill windows save function, either through the file save or to "control + s" by adding macro code to it so it does more than just save the project?

A plug-in could subscribe to the ProjectSaved event and then perform additional tasks. 
Not possible just with macros alone I’m afraid without some user interaction.
For example a custom save button that runs a macro however then you’re relying on the user clicking that custom button. 
A plug-in would catch every save instance with nothing needed from the user. 

HTH.

There are a few things you could do. The easiest way would be to make a macro that saves the project and then create a button on the quick access toolbar that runs the macro. And then bind the ctrl+s shortcut to the same macro. 

The longer way would be making a plugin and subscribing to the save event. In this case, I think a macro would be better if you changed the keyboard shortcut.
